The TUI has some single key commands for stepping and such - I use those 
a lot. The source view is very nice to have too.

You might also like to check out the history save feature. I have these 
lines in my .gdbinit:

   set history expansion
   set history save on

Basically it just means that, when you start a new GDB session in the 
same directory as a previous one, you can hit 'up' and the commands from 
your last session are still there.
